Unwilling To Obey With Kept Faith Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Usually one gets in return,
What one has invested...
In time spent with interests given.
Support shown and patience.
With steadfast kept beliefs and lots of prayer.
Tears to shed and burdens to lift,
Not to carry to solicit with a determination...
For others to witness their interpretation,
Of misunderstood dedication devoted to despair...
To share the receiving and giving of empathy.

Those following a path of seeking limelight,
With the least resistance and unwilling to obey...
Those lessons taught with kept faith or insight.
Nor prepared to sacrifice temptations day and night.
With a focus upon their desires sought,
That can not be bought without discipline on a daily basis.
But regularly make attempts to use quick devices!
Need not expect an overflow of dividends without input.
Or make accusations that come back to bite,
With or without a swift kick that hits them in the end.
